'Talk loudly and carry a limp stick'

Michael Savage sees drastic shift for America in Obama speech

Kathy Shaidle is a blogging pioneer whose FiveFeetOfFury.com is now in its 12th year. Her most recent book â€“ "The Tyranny of Nice: How Canada Crushes Freedom in the Name of Human Rights, and Why It Matters to Americans" â€“ features an introduction by Rush Limbaugh guest host Mark Steyn.

At the top of his show, with Obama's speech in progress, Savage told his "Savage Nation" audience he believed he was reacting "the same way many of you are reacting, listening to this man's absurdities and contradictions."

Picking up on some of Obama's talking points, Savage asked rhetorically, "Should we be the world's policeman?

"You know how I feel about it: I'm an anti-war conservative," Savage said.

"I believe we should go to war when our national interests are threatened."

He concluded that, given the many "contradictions" both within the president's speech and the evidence regarding Syria's chemical weapons attacks, it was impossible to know "what we the people are supposed to believe."

Savage's show is heard nationwide Monday through Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time via Cumulus Media Networks.
